Some would say that we live in a culture which idolizes work, that today’s capitalistic society has taken the Puritan work ethic, one which praised individualism and thrift, and distorted it into a dangerous, frenzied race for ‘the top.’ Once people worked to live; now they live to work. Work is often worshipped, and one’s status, intelligence, and virtue are determined by how well that work pays.
